Well done Dublin.Deserving winners today .Syferus ,would you ever fu-ck off in pushing your McStay agenda .Now is not the time
It's a fair point. Mayo may have made the wrong choice last Autumn. Tactics today were brutal. No real push on Cluxton's kickouts to exploit Dublin's weak middle, no ideas past kicking it to AOS. Caught on the Dublin 45 so often. Management had a whole match last week to think around those things and they seemed to arrive with very little different today.
Also thought Aslan were class. Great to see Christy Dignam in fine form.
After 53 minutes Syferus it looked like a good plan to me. Have you ever managed anyone?
Because with the best will in the world and the best plans- when a team hits you for 2 goals in 4 minutes there ain't much you can do about it on the sideline. It's not Football Manager you know.
Mayo players have to take some level of responsibility. It's the same bloody mistakes every year. And also lads like Aidan O Se need to turn up on big days too and not just against Sligo. They'd drive you to being an alcoholic
There was a lot of people saying by half time that they couldn't believe Mayo had learned nothing from the previous week Indiana. I thought that their plan was poor up to that point, and had been bailed out by some great long range score taking.
Also the Philly McMahon chance where he had 15m space in all directions was warning that the defensive set up up the middle was faulty.
Personally I thought Dublin were beginning to turn the game before Mayos goal, then the substitutes accelerated that. I thought Mayos management reacted very poorly to Seamy O'Shea's departure.
